My husband would love to be out there! The first thing he wants us to do is rent a boat to travel the Intercoastal Canal~from Texas to Florida. That should tell you how much he loves the water(ocean). I, myself, am a freshwater person....but this picture makes me want to be out there too!!

Hey.. I was just at Black Rock Forest and Newburgh Marina for lunch on Saturday. I'm dating a man that lives there. He drove all the way to Staten Island to get me at 8 AM and than back home later. Great day. Weather was good too; just a tad too hot.

He works right by Rockefeller Center and lives upstate (originally from Staten Island).

I'm meeting him tomorrow at 2PM we'll take the Trestle Train back to his home and I'm sleeping over to spend the day up there Saturday again.

I love getting out of NYC for he diversity.. to go UPSTATE.. but I have to say I get enough nature in the parks in Manhattan / Staten Island.. and love the convenience and diversity of NYC much better.

I am looking forward to the trestle train ride.. sound scary since no rails on either side.. I saw it .. and it looked nice and high up.. a bit too high.. OKAY I'm SCARED.
